Most people don’t struggle to believe God exists. They struggle to notice Him. Not in the big moments—but in the ordinary ones. In the in-between parts of life that feel like nothing is happening at all.

Think of ornamental alliums as the overachievers of the family. Just as the Allium rises above the garden bed to see clearly, God invites us to lift our eyes above the “mental fog” of daily chores, work, and stress. When you stop waiting for the fire and start positioning your “umbel” toward the Son, the silence begins to fill with His generous guidance.

How loud is your mind? Are you at peace, or does your brain run non-stop? Perhaps you’re replaying the last conversation you had at work, reviewing the schedule for your kids' activities, or thinking about what you need to discuss with your husband. All this noise creates a “mental fog”—and mental fog is a fast track to spiritual exhaustion.
